Anybody still trumpeting the silly notion that Benning has been picking for need and not BPA should consider that Boeser pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so zoned in on defensman that I was just baffled that we took a winger. My buddy and I were on a skype call watching the draft together and we were both so confused when JB made the pick. I spent the next 15 minutes going through scouting reports and highlight reels. I remember at the end of my research binge, I said to my buddy that it looked like a really good pick, but before that, he wasn't even on my radar. I was in the exact same situation. I was so much hoping for Jeremy Roy, and if not him, expecting another defenseman that a forward was a blindside one to me. I'd never heard of Boeser, so I didn't really know what to think. He seemed okay and some fans were happy with the pick, so I decided to just wait it out and hope that JB hadn't made a big mistake. Turns out, he didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember at the end of my research binge, I said to my buddy that it looked like a really good pick, but before that, he wasn't even on my radar. It was funny I remember watching Craig Button's TSN rankings for prospects, and he had actually placed Brock Boeser in the top 15 best draft prospects in the draft. I remember the consensus on Brock was he ranged from 35-50 overall from The hockey news, sportsnet, espn, and other rankings. Gotta say Button was probably the only one I can remember that remotely said Brock Boeser was top 15 worthy. I remember thinking he was crazy (mainly due to ignorance and not knowing much about Brock Boeser). I remember during that 30 min segment, he lauded over Boeser like crazy, and I was bewildered. Button is a bit of nuthead most of the times, but he was spot on with Brock. Benning wanted Boeser so bad you could tell haha JB must've been sweating the whole time til he got to the podium...deep down there was a little kid that really wanted Brock badly haha.

Let's make an impromptu argument! Erm... umm.... Boeser sucks! Konechy! We should have drafted Konechy! Who cares about what I don't know about?! I only care about what I know about! Pettersson next perhaps? lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought for sure Barzal or Connor would be gone.. but their GM had other ideas. The Vancouver Canucks facebook account asked everyone what our predictions were, and I predicted that we would either draft Boeser or Juulsen Don't think anybody else in the comments wrote Boeser lol. Connor, Barzal, Boeser. LW/C/RW. All three Bruins could have drafted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Nearly everyone was baffled at the time, considering the players who were still on the board. Senyshyn wasn't even rated in the first round... but I guess he skates really fast. With those three picks they could have rebuilt their team. Turned it around and established it for the next decade in just 15 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
